Douluo Continent: Apollo, the Sun God King!

Lin Yaoyang shook his head, his gaze casually sweeping over the roadside stalls.

Then, he saw a familiar figure.

Not far away, a thin boy was squatting on the ground in front of a stall, with a simple grill in front of him. A girl with a ponytail was standing next to him, helping him pack up his things.

Huo Yuhao.

He was selling grilled fish.

Lin Yaoyang paused for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Wang Dong asked, chewing something, following his gaze. "Oh, who was that... again?"

Lin Yaoyang withdrew his gaze. "Let's go take a look."

The two walked over.

Huo Yuhao's grilled fish stall was very simple: a sheet metal grill, a pot of charcoal fire, and a few cleaned bluefish placed on a plate next to it.

He was intently flipping the fish on the grill, controlling the heat perfectly. The fish skin gradually turned golden brown, and the oil dripped onto the charcoal, making a sizzling sound and filling the air with a fragrant aroma.

"Huo Yuhao?"

Huo Yuhao looked up and saw Lin Yaoyang and Wang Dong. He was slightly taken aback, then smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Squad leader? Vice squad leader?"

Lin Yaoyang looked at the fish on the grill and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you tell us you were selling grilled fish here? We could have come and support you."

Huo Yuhao scratched his head, his face slightly flushed: "I...I'm just embarrassed."

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Lin Yaoyang patted him on the shoulder. "Making money is nothing to be ashamed of."

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes reddened slightly.

He had assumed that a genius like Lin Yaoyang would look down on a poor student like him.

did not expect……

"Thank you, class monitor." He lowered his head, his voice very soft.

Tang Ya, watching this scene from the side, blinked and asked, "Xiao Yuhao, who are these two...?"

Huo Yuhao quickly introduced, "Teacher Xiaoya, these are my classmates. This is Lin Yaoyang, our class monitor. This is Wang Dong, the vice class monitor."

Then he turned to Lin Yaoyang and Wang Dong: "This is Tang Ya, our senior. She's the one who helped me find this place to set up my stall."

Tang Ya slightly raised her chin, a smile on her face: "Hello, my name is Tang Ya, and I am the current sect leader of the Tang Clan!"

Upon hearing the words "Tang Clan," Wang Dong's body trembled slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Tang Clan? You're from the Tang Clan?"

"Yes..." Tang Ya was about to continue speaking.

"Give us three grilled fish," Lin Yaoyang's voice rang out calmly, interrupting Tang Ya.

Huo Yuhao was taken aback: "Huh? Okay, wait a moment, it's not done yet."

Lin Yaoyang took out a gold soul coin from his pocket and casually placed it in the wooden box next to him.

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, and he quickly waved his hand, "Class monitor, we only need five copper soul coins per sachet, fifteen copper coins is enough! This is too much!"

"I don't have any copper coins," Lin Yaoyang said.

"..." Huo Yuhao.

The difference between five bronze soul coins and one gold soul coin is a hundredfold. This class monitor is incredibly generous.

Wang Dong, who had just come to his senses, said, "Two strips should be enough, right? I can't eat that much."

Lin Yaoyang turned his head and looked at her with a peculiar expression.

That look was like he was looking at a fool.

"Who said you got it all?"

Wang Dong's face flushed red instantly: "What kind of look is that?!"

"The way you look at an idiot."

"you--!"

Huo Yuhao watched the two bickering from the side and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Soon, the three grilled fish were ready. The golden-brown skin glistened with oil, and a rich aroma wafted from their bellies. Huo Yuhao placed the fish on a small plate and handed it to Lin Yaoyang.

"Squad leader, all done."

Next to the stall, Tang Ya set up a few small tables and stools. Lin Yaoyang carried his plate over and sat down, and Wang Dong followed suit.

Lin Yaoyang picked up a grilled fish and took a bite.

The moment your teeth touch the fish skin, there's a slight "crunch." The skin is roasted to a crisp, but without any burnt taste. Beneath the crispy skin lies tender, juicy, and fully flavored fish meat that melts in your mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance.

Lin Yaoyang's eyes lit up.

Yuhao Grilled Fish truly lives up to its reputation!

Wang Dong took a bite and was stunned, then quickly ate it, his cheeks puffing out again.

Customers from other nearby stalls, drawn by the aroma, all turned to look. One person couldn't resist coming over and asking, "Excuse me, how much is your grilled fish?"

Huo Yuhao quickly stood up and announced, "Five copper coins for each!"

Without saying a word, the man took out his money and bought one. He took a bite, and his eyes lit up.

"tasty!!"

Soon, a queue formed in front of Huo Yuhao's stall.

Lin Yaoyang sat at the small table, slowly eating his grilled fish, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he watched this scene.

Just then, several female students wearing purple school uniforms walked over from a distance.

The moment the girl at the front appeared, she attracted the attention of everyone around her.

She looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. Her long, golden hair cascaded down her back in large waves, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were like pools of clear water. She wore a well-tailored purple school uniform, which further accentuated her upright posture and elegant demeanor.

Her appearance seemed to dim everything around her.

"Sister Nan, it smells so good! What's that smell?" Another female student next to her sniffed in surprise.

The stunningly beautiful girl had obviously smelled the aroma as well, and her gaze fell on Huo Yuhao's stall.

Several girls walked over, chatting and laughing.

Just as the stunningly beautiful girl was about to ask about the price, her gaze inadvertently swept over the small table next to her.

Then she froze.

"Yaoyang?!"

Lin Yaoyang looked up, saw that familiar face, and waved with a smile: "Nannan, long time no see."

Jiang Nannan's face instantly broke into a bright smile as she jogged over to him, her eyes sparkling.

"You actually came! I thought you were just saying it casually!"

"How could that be?" Lin Yaoyang moved aside to make room for her. "Sit down, there's still a grilled fish here."

Jiang Nannan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down next to him, picking up the grilled fish and eating it in small bites. Her movements were elegant, but she ate very quickly.

Watching this scene unfold, Wang Dong suddenly felt a strange unease as he chewed on the grilled fish.

She glanced at Jiang Nannan, then at Lin Yaoyang, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Lin...Brother Lin, is this...your girlfriend?"

Lin Yaoyang shook his head: "No. This is Jiang Nannan, my friend."

He turned to Jiang Nannan: "Nannan, this is Wang Dong, my roommate."

Jiang Nannan looked up and smiled slightly at Wang Dong: "Hello."

"Hello," Wang Dong replied blankly.

But she was thinking to herself, are they really just friends?

She felt that if Lin Yaoyang hadn't been sitting down, Jiang Nannan might have jumped into his arms. The tenderness and joy in the girl's eyes when she looked at Lin Yaoyang were impossible to hide.

Several female students who were with Jiang Nannan also gathered around. Seeing that she seemed to know this handsome young man with orange-red hair very well, their gossip instincts immediately ignited.

"Sister Nan, who is this handsome young man?"

"Isn't this your boyfriend?"

"Tell us about it!"

The group chattered amongst themselves, making Jiang Nannan a little embarrassed, and a blush crept onto her pretty face.

"No...no, it's just...just friends."

"Just friends? Sister Nan, your face is all red!"

"Exactly!"

Jiang Nannan's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and focused on eating the fish, not daring to look at Lin Yaoyang anymore.

Just then, another person came to the stall.

"Give me a grilled fish, please."

Huo Yuhao glanced at the fish on the grill; only two remained. He said somewhat apologetically, "Sorry, we've sold out of grilled fish for today. These last two are for someone else."

These two are for Tang Ya and Bei Bei.

The man's face immediately darkened: "Kid, you dare not sell?"

The voice was loud and angry, immediately attracting the attention of those around.
